Chapter 69: Well wisher? Yes!
"Thank you so much," Helena thanked the in-charge before exiting the cemetery.
"Here," She gave the details she found of the man to Vernon, who was waiting outside for her.
She smiled as she read the card along with him, "So, his name is Merlin? Merlin Presley. Finally found his name. But sadly I shouldn’t call him, right? Or he would be suspicious."
Vernon sighed and nodded, "Yes. But do you really want to talk to him that much? You look a bit too disappointed, don’t you?"
Helena casually shrugged and walked towards the car, "Let’s go. I think your news seems a bit urgent. Let’s go and give him a call as soon as possible."
Vernon followed along and got into the car without another word.
The cemetery was on the outskirts of the city. So, it took them a while before they reached the city and found a public phone booth.
The couple entered the booth and Vernon dialed the number.
The phone rang. Vernon took a deep breath. He felt weird making such a call.
He knows how the other person would react after receiving such a call. They would definitely think that he is a weirdo who was making a prank call.
But knowing a person would die, he couldn’t not make this call.
Thinking that his call was to save a person’s life, he finally calmed down.
The call was answered, "Hello? Who is this?"
Vernon felt like someone had poured some honey in his ears.
(Who is this man? Why is his voice so nice? Even as a man, I couldn’t help but fall for his voice. How could a woman take it? No wonder Helena has been gushing about this man since she met him.)
From the corner of his eyes, he couldn’t help but glance at Helena.
As the CEO of an Entertainment company, he more or less knows a young lady’s love for such nice voices.
He sighed before he turned his attention towards the call, when he heard, "Hello? Why is no one talking?"
Vernon understood that the person was about to hang up and decided to speak, "Hello. Am I talking to Mr. Merlin Presley?"
"Yes. Who are you?" Merlin asked after confirming that it really was him.
"You don’t have to care about who I am. Just take me as your well wisher. I wanted to warn you about something." Vernon spoke in a hurried voice.
"Tell me." Merlin spoke in a calm voice.
Vernon couldn’t get used to how nice his voice sounded.
He took a deep breath before blurting out his purpose of this call, "I might sound crazy but please listen carefully. I think you will encounter an accident in a week. So please be careful. That’s all. Good bye."
Once he said his piece, he did not wait for a second and hung up on the call.
Helena looked at his sweating face and blinked her eyes.

On the other end of the call, Merlin looked at his phone and was stunned.
Before he could understand what the other person said, the call was already hung up.
"Who is this crazy man?" He couldn’t help but mumble before placing the phone back on the table.
"What happened, Boss? Who is that? What did he say?" Merlin’s assistant asked him from the side when he saw his incredulous expression.
Merlin looked at him and shook his head, "I don’t know either. Anyway, a crazy person. He said that I will get into an accident in a week and I have to be careful."
The assistant looked as stunned as Merlin, "Who is that crazy man? How can you get into an accident, boss? Is he cursing you?"
Merlin shook his head, "He most definitely was not."
From the way Vernon spoke with caution and also how he worried that he would be treated as a crazy man, Merlin was sure that he was sincerely giving him a caution and wasn’t cursing him. Just as he said, he is Merlin’s ’Well wisher’.
"He wasn’t cursing? Then what should we do about his words, boss? Are we ignoring him?" The assistant asked in confusion.
"Ignore? Why should we ignore him? Even if he is a crazy person, if he called me to caution me, then I should definitely take his word seriously. After all, in our line of work, the more cautious we are, the better." Merlin smiled.
The assistant nodded immediately, "You are right, boss. So, what do you want me to do?"
Merlin looked at his phone on the table and knitted his brows together for a seconds, pondering carefully.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at him before saying, "Look into the person called me. I want all the details of this man."
The assistant nodded.
Merlin then said, "Look into all the activities happening around us. Look into everyone, without missing anyone."
"Okay, boss."
Merlin continued, "Check all our orders in the next week and the past week. Give me the complete list as soon as possible."
"Okay, Boss," The assistant left his office immediately after receiving his orders.
Once he left, Merlin frowned and looked at his phone once again.
He took it and dialed the number that called him the last.
It rang for a while before someone picked it up.
Before he could even question him, the person on the other end started to shout at him, "Who are you? Are you crazy? Don’t you know that one shouldn’t call a public phone? That was against the rules. If everyone does this, how can we earn the money? How shameless!"
Merlin was stunned. This was the first time someone had scolded him like that.
Of course people had scolded him before. But a shameless man who isn’t letting the public phone owner earn some money? That was definitely a first.
"You mean this phone is from a public booth?" He still remembered the main point and asked.
"If not? Did you think this belonged to your mansion’s bathroom?"
